In the prior art, compatibility was maintained with various wireless charging pick-up pads installed in the vehicle by using a plurality of inverters. In this system, compatibility is satisfied at a lower cost by utilizing the relay present in the inverter. The EMI of the power supply line is reduced by maximizing the magnetic field cancellation effect by using the structure of the common line and the shielding tube.
Description
- The present invention relates to a wireless charging power supply system, and more particularly, wireless charging power supply during operations of electric vehicles, such as electric buses, electric cars, trams, light rails, subways, and industrial equipment including RTGC (Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane).
- Due to global warming, the use of electric power using batteries as an energy source to replace petroleum energy is increasing for transportation means such as automobiles and railroads. Currently, there has been a limit to the more general distribution of electric vehicles due to the insufficient capacity of the battery, which requires a short driving range and frequent charging, as well as insufficient infrastructure such as charging stations and the long time required for charging. However, a power supply system has also been installed to enable wireless charging on the road while driving.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a power supply line of awireless charging system 100 while driving of a conventional wireless charging electric vehicle. The power supply line is placed on the left and right with the inverter 101 as the center and is composed of a single coil. - From the
inverter 110, a sinusoidal current is applied to the power supply line composed of thecommon line portion 130 and thepower supply region 140, and the applied current returns to theinverter 110. - In this configuration, it is possible to wirelessly charge electric vehicles and industrial equipment by composing a power supply line without too much trouble in the low frequency range (20-40 kHz). However, due to the weight and size of the wireless charging pad installed in the vehicle, EMF, and the limitations of wireless charging which is relatively expensive compared to wired charging, the frequency of wireless charging is being changed from 20-40 kHz to 85 kHz based on many studies. Although advantages can be secured according to the changed frequency, it has the disadvantage that the problem of withstand voltage for frequency increase always exists.
- That is, if the frequency is increased from 20-40 kHz to 85 kHz according to the current wireless charging trend for electric vehicles, the withstand voltage between both ends in the same power supply line increases by about 4.25 times, which may cause problems such as discharge and leakage current, etc. In order to suppress this, a method of shortening the length of the power supply line or reducing the current used may be proposed. However, if the length is shortened, the charging time of the electric vehicle while driving is shortened, resulting in a problem that the charging amount is significantly reduced. Reducing the current may also be a solution, but when the current is reduced, a voltage lower than the battery voltage is formed as an excitation electromotive force, which may cause a problem in that charging the battery is not easy.
- In addition to the frequency problem, in the case of the existing wireless charging
power supply system 100 while driving an electric vehicle, a single coil is wound in one turn in the vehicle travel direction, so compatibility with wireless charging pads attached to other vehicles may be lacking. - The present invention was devised to solve such problems and the object of the present invention is to provide a wireless charging power supply and pick-up system that more effectively reduces the withstand voltage of the power supply line, improves the compatibility with various wireless charging pick-up pads installed in the vehicle in a way that further reduces the cost, and also reduces EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) of the power supply line.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a new method for improving the limitation of the power supply line section length and the problem of dead zones during wireless charging while driving.
- To achieve the above-mentioned objects, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for controlling the wireless charging power of electric vehicles and industrial equipment (hereinafter collectively referred to as ‘electric vehicles’) in operation, comprising: a power supply cable for generating power for wireless charging by flowing an AC current; an inverter for controlling the supply of the AC current flowing through the power supply cable and including a relay for adjusting the phase of the AC current to 0 degrees or 180 degrees; and, a capacitor unit including a relay for adjusting the phase of the AC current to 0 degrees or 180 degrees under the control of the inverter, and a capacitor for reducing the inductance of the power supply cable, wherein the other end of the power supply cable having one end connected to the inverter is connected to the next capacitor unit without returning to the inverter.
- In accordance with other aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of controlling power supply of the wireless charging power supply system of claim 1, comprising the steps of: (a) detecting, by the inverter, a position of the electric vehicle equipped with a pick-up when the electric vehicle enters a power supply section controlled by the inverter; (b) determining, by the inverter, information on the pick-up mounted on the electric vehicle; (c) switching, by the inverter, the position where the electric vehicle is located to a charging mode according to the determined pick-up information, and controlling the power to be supplied to the position; and, (d) switching, by the inverter, when the electric vehicle leaves the position, the position to off mode to cut off the power. According to the present invention, it is possible to expand the wireless power supply line while driving by solving the conventional withstand voltage problem on the power supply line with a capacitor provided in a ‘box’ or an ‘inverter’ located outside the road, a power supply line design, and a common line arrangement design. According to this scalability, there is an effect of greatly improving the economic problem of the wireless charging system.
- At the same time, in contrast to the conventional method of maintaining compatibility with various wireless charging pick-up pads installed in the vehicle by using multiple inverters, a wireless charging pick-up system that satisfies such compatibility at a lower cost is provided by utilizing the relays present in the ‘box’ and ‘inverter’.
- Furthermore, there is an effect of reducing EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) of the power supply line by maximizing the magnetic field cancellation effect by the design of the common line and the shielding tube.
- In addition, the present invention has an effect of providing a new method for improving the limitation of the length of the power supply line section and the problem of dead zones during wireless charging while driving.

-
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a wireless charging power supply system according to the present invention when an electric vehicle is on a road. - Hereinafter, ‘power supply cable’ or ‘power supply coil’ will be used interchangeably with the same meaning.
- The wireless charging
power supply system 200 according to the present invention performs wireless power transfer of an electric vehicle 10 (bus, tram, train, passenger car, etc.). The power supply line includes a power supply unit composed of a plurality of power supply pads, aninverter 210 supplying AC power to the power supply unit, and acommon line 230 connecting theinverter 210 and the power supply unit. The power supply unit includes a power supply core made of a ferromagnetic material and apower supply cable 240. - The configuration of the
inverter 210 or thebox 220 of the wireless chargingpower supply system 200 of the present invention is not limited to the inverter or box, and may include a switch or other power device. Since these devices also implement the same functions as those implemented through an inverter or a box, they will be collectively referred to as theinverter 210 andbox 220 in the following description. The term ‘box’ means a box comprising a circuit unit that includes a capacitor and a relay. Hereinafter, it will be referred to as a ‘capacitor unit 220’ to distinguish it from theinverter 210. Such a relay is also provided in theinverter 210. - In the present invention, as shown in
FIG. 2 , the common line connecting the power supply unit and the inverter does not return but are extended and connected to the next inverter orcapacitor unit 220. Similarly, even when two ormore capacitor units 220 are provided (221, 222 . . . ), as shown inFIG. 2 , the other end of the power supply cable having one end connected to the nth capacitor unit is connected to the (n+1)th capacitor unit without returning to the nth capacitor unit. - The wireless charging
power supply system 200 of the present invention ofFIG. 2 includes a power supply line having compatibility so that charging is possible even when various types of wireless charging pads are attached to various types of vehicles. When the power supply line is configured as shown inFIG. 2 , the withstand voltage of the power supply line can be more effectively reduced through the capacitor provided in theinverter 210 or in thecapacitor unit 220. The reason that the withstand voltage of the power supply line can be reduced is because the capacitor cancels the inductance generated in the power supply line. - Furthermore, an advantage of the present invention is that a plurality of inverters are not used to implement the above-described compatibility. When a plurality of inverters are used, a large amount of installation cost is incurred, thereby lowering the economic feasibility. In the present invention, such compatibility is sufficiently secured through one
inverter 210 and one ormore capacitor units 220 connected to theinverter 210 as shown inFIG. 2 . That is, compatibility can be secured by changing the current phase through the relay disposed on theinverter 210 or thecapacitor unit 220. A method of implementing such compatibility will be described later in detail with reference toFIG. 3 . - In addition, the shape of the power supply line of the wireless charging
power supply system 200 may have various shapes, including an oval or circular structure. As the power supply core, a ferromagnetic material such as a ferrite core may or may not be accompanied. When a ferromagnetic material is provided as a power supply core, an embodiment of the shape of such a ferromagnetic material will be described later with reference toFIG. 4 . - In the coil structure of the power supply line, one coil may be configured as a pair or may be configured as two or more pairs, an example of which is shown in
FIG. 3 . - In the case of a power supply line composed of two or more pairs of coils, the current direction of each coil of the power supply line may be made in all possible combinations. An interval of a pair of coils or two or more pairs of coils may include various intervals including equal intervals, which will be described later with reference to
FIGS. 3 and 5 . -
FIG. 3 is a view showing the coil structure of the power supply line of the wireless chargingpower supply system 200 according to the present invention andFIG. 4 is a diagram showing the shape and structure of a ferromagnetic material forming a power supply core of a wireless chargingpower supply system 200 according to the present invention. The shape and structure of the ferromagnetic material may include bar-type, L-type, W-type, and all deformed shapes thereof. - In
FIG. 3 , across-section embodiment 300 of thepower supply cable 240 constituting the power supply line, that is, a cross-section indicating the direction of current flowing in thepower supply cable 240 is shown. - As shown in the
cross-section embodiment 300, the power supply line may be composed of asingle coil 301 or a plurality ofcoils - According to the control of the relay of the
inverter 210 and the relay of thecapacitor unit 220, the direction of the current in each coil can be controlled as ‘·’ or ‘X’. That is, according to the control of the relay of theinverter 210 and the relay of thecapacitor unit 220, the phase of the current in each coil may be controlled to 0 or 180 degrees. - By controlling the phase of each coil, it is possible to generate wireless power by the magnetic flux transmitted to the upper part in the corresponding power supply line section to enter the charging mode, or to cancel the magnetic flux to cut off the power (off mode). For example, in the case of 302 in
FIG. 3 , magnetic flux is generated from the current of thepower supply cable 240, so that the pick-up is in the charging mode. However, in the case of 303, the pair of coils on the left side cancel each other out as currents of opposite phases, so that no power is generated for charging. Similarly, no power is generated on the pick-up by the pair of coils on the right. In this way, the phase control of the current may perform various controls in addition to switching to the charging mode or the off mode. For example, in the case of 303 or 304 ofFIG. 3 , power may be generated on the pick-up according to thedistance 20 between the two coils even if the phases of currents in the pair of coils on the left are opposite to each other. That is, if the two coils are arranged very close to each other, little power will be generated on the pick-up, but as the distance between the two coils is more than a certain interval, the generated power on the pick-up increases. As described above, depending on the distance between thecoils 20 and the distance between thecoil 240 and the lower power supply core 250 (30, seeFIG. 5 ), the generated power when the same phase current flows through the pair of coils on both sides and the generated power when the opposite phase current flows change. - The
inverter 210 for controlling the magnitude and phase of the generated current turns on or off the wireless power generation of the corresponding section according to whether a vehicle is present in a specific segment of the power supply line section. In addition, by detecting the type of a pick-up device mounted on a vehicle passing through the section and the height of the pick-up that has a difference from the ground of the power supply line depending on a large vehicle or passenger car, etc., it is possible to control the phase of the current flowing in the power supply cable 240 (i.e., thecoil 240 as shown in theembodiment 300 ofFIG. 3 ) of the power supply line so that wireless power is supplied. - Such control of the phase of the current by the
inverter 210 is performed by controlling the relay provided in theinverter 210 and the relay provided in thecapacitor unit 220 of each section. That is, when thepower supply cable 240 is composed of n (n≥2) pairs of coils, each coil can independently adjust the phase of the current by a relay under the control of theinverter 210. Any combination of 0 degree or 180 degree phase is possible for n pairs of coils. By controlling the current phase combination of theinverter 210 as described above, the wireless power supplied through the power supply cable is controlled. - As described above, for various types of pick-ups and installation heights of various pick-ups, it is called ‘compatibility’ as described above to automatically control and supply an appropriate amount of wireless power for charging.
- In addition, the inductance of the power supply line can be reduced by controlling the phase.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing adistance 20 between thecoil 240 and adistance 30 between thecoil 240 and theferromagnetic material 250 that is a power supply core, which are design variables of the wireless chargingpower supply system 200 according to the present invention.FIG. 6 is a graph showing a change in inductance per unit distance of a power supply line according to the design variable shown inFIG. 5 . -
FIG. 5 shows a method for securing compatibility according to the interval between coils constituting the power supply line and for extending the section due to the reduction of inductance. An advantageous condition can be determined by calculating an inductance value according to a change in the distance between thecoils 20 and thedistance 30 between the coil and the ferromagnetic material based on a unit distance. That is, each coil may be disposed to contact each other without a separation distance, or may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. The coil constituting the power supply cable and the power supply core may also be disposed to contact each other without a separation distance, or may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. - In
FIG. 6 , theF15 line 61 indicates that theseparation distance 30 between the ferromagnetic material and the coil is 15 mm, andF25 line 62 indicates that theseparation distance 30 between the ferromagnetic material and the coil is 25 mm. In addition, the value of the x-axis (horizontal axis) of the graph represents thedistance 20 between the coils, and the y-axis (vertical axis) means inductance per unit length. - The 66 dots on each line in the graph show examples of a total of 66 designs for the design variables (20, 30) of the interval, and the appropriate design variable values according to the environment and various conditions in which the power supply line is installed can be set.
- Each of
FIGS. 7A and 7B is a diagram illustrating a method of locating a portion of thecommon line 230 in the wireless chargingpower supply system 200 according to the present invention. - The common line refers to a portion where the
power supply cables 240 are gathered, that is, a portion 230 (refer toFIG. 2 ) where the power supply cables are gathered from, for example, theinverter 210 or thecapacitor unit 220. Thecommon line 230 is wrapped by the shieldingtube 260 to shield the magnetic field and, as shown inFIG. 7B , the inductance can be reduced by maximizing the magnetic field cancellation effect by adjusting the direction of the current. -
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a power supply control method in the wireless chargingpower supply system 200 according to the present invention. - The control of
FIG. 8 is performed by theinverter 210. When theelectric vehicle 10 equipped with a pick-up enters the power supply section controlled by theinverter 210, the position of the corresponding vehicle is detected (S801). The power supply section controlled by the inverter means all thecapacitor units 220 connected to thecorresponding inverter 210 and the power supply cable section connected thereto. The detected location of the corresponding vehicle means the power supply segment within the corresponding power supply section where the vehicle is located. The power supply segment refers to a power supply line between theinverter 210 and the next capacitor unit 221 (refer toFIG. 2 ), and a power supply line between the next capacitor unit 221 (refer toFIG. 2 ) and another next capacitor unit 222 (refer toFIG. 2 ), etc. Referring toFIG. 2 , if the power supply line between theinverter 210 and the next capacitor unit 221 (seeFIG. 2 ) is referred to as a first power supply segment, and the power supply line between the next capacitor unit 221 (seeFIG. 2 ) and another next capacitor unit 222 (seeFIG. 2 ) is referred to as a second power supply segment, the vehicle currently enters the second power supply segment. Such position detection (S801) may be performed in various ways. As an embodiment, the method may be performed by receiving GPS information of the correspondingvehicle 10 and identifying a power supply segment within the current power supply section of theinverter 210. Alternatively, theinverter 210 connected to the power supply segment in which thevehicle 10 is located may directly detect the vehicle entry, or thecapacitor units inverter 210. - Thereafter, the
inverter 210 connected to the power supply segment in which the correspondingvehicle 10 is located may directly detect information on the pick-up mounted on the correspondingvehicle 10. Alternatively, thecapacitor units vehicle 10 and transmit the information to theinverter 210, and theinverter 210 may determine the pick-up information (S802). The pick-up information may include a type of the pick-up, a height of the pick-up from the ground, and the like. - The
inverter 210 switches the power supply segment in which the vehicle is located to the charging mode according to the detected pick-up information and controls the power to be supplied (S803). Such power control, as described above with reference toFIG. 3 , controls the phase of the current of eachcoil 240 by controlling the relay of theinverter 210 and thecapacitor unit - Afterwards, when the corresponding
vehicle 10 leaves the power supply segment, theinverter 210 switches the corresponding power supply segment to an off mode to cut off the power of the corresponding power supply segment (S804). The power cut-off of the power supply segment may also be performed by controlling the relay of thecapacitor unit coil 240. - As described above, although the present invention has been described with reference to limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the technical idea of the present invention and claims by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains. Various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalents of the claims to be described.
